I don't use any if it is in a car gas tank. The fuel system is sealed (since 1976 in the US) and does not lose the volatile fractions like it did with vented tanks. I have driven a car with gasoline way over a year old and had no trouble at all.
I use Sta-Bil brand fuel stabilizer in my motorcycles when they go in for the winter. Seems to work OK
Interesting question to ask at the start of February and winter is half over already.

As noted by the first post, I use Sta-Bil as well and I've never had any issues starting up engines ( motorcycle, lawnmower, snow blower, etc. ) that sits in storage for half a year.
